Well that's exactly what I wanted in the first place. One merit is fine to move up from Newbie to Junior rank, but not to be able to get a signature and start earning here, especially when it is so easy to abuse. Anyone can beg, buy or trade a solitary merit but ten is obviously ten times more harder to get (or ten times more expensive). I think we should remove signatures from Junior members and see how that goes. If people are still abusing it en mass we can then remove signatures from Members eventually and then let's see how easy it is for them to beg or buy 100 merits before they can start earning here. Now that really would make a difference.
